FOR  three  hundred  years  the   Magic  Lantern   has  been  recognized  as  a  powerful 
factor  in  producing  successful  Public  Entertainments,  and  never  in  its  long  his- 
tory has   the   instrument    been    more  universally  used  than  now.  and  never  were 
the  opportunities  for  giving  successful  Entertainments  greater  than  at  present. 

WE  DO  NOT  CLAIM 

that  it  is  possible  for  evety  tnan  to  make  a  fortune  as  a  Lantern  Exhibitor. 
A  fortune  crowns   the  efforts  of  but  a  small  proportion  of  those  who  toil, 
and  sensible  people  do  not  waste  time  and  energy  in  dreams  of  acquiring  riches 
without  labor  and  with  no  capital,  but  are  constantly  seeking

that  will  insure  to  them  agreeable  occupation  and  a  good  income. 

WE  HAVE  NO   HESITANCY 

whatever,  in  declaring  that  the  Magic  Lantern  furnishes  this  means;    and  that

EXPLANATORY 

Read  Carefully 

It  is  usually  difficult  for  the  inexperienced  person,  contemplating  the  purchase  of 
a  Lantern  Outfit,  to  decide  what  is  the  best  Apparatus  for  his  purpose  as  to  the  Light, 
Stvle  of  Lantern,  the  Lenses,  etc.  For  the  enlightenment  of  these  we  append  the  fol- 
lowing ; 

A  MAGIC  LANTERN 

(sometimes  called  a  Sciopticon)  is  an  optical  instrument  by  which  transparent 
views  on  small  plates  of  glass  may  be  illuminated,  and  enlarged  images  of  them 
projected  upon  a  screen  or  wall.  The  Lantern  consists  of  the  Objective  (or 
projecting)  Lens,  the  condensing  Lenses,  the  Bellows,  the  Body  (or  frame)  and 
the  Hood  or  receptacle  for  the  light. 

Nearly  all  modern  Lanterns  are  so  constructed  that  with  them  can  be  used 
either  an  Oil  Light  Lamp,  an  Electric  Light  Lamp,  an  Acetylene  Gas  Burner 
or  an  O.xy-Hydrogen  Gas  Jet.  With  the  Magic  Lantern  neither  Dissolving 
Views  nor  Moving  Pictures  can  be  produced.    • 

A  STEREOPTICON 

is  a  combination  of  two  or  more  Magic  Lanterns  placed  one  above  the  other. 
It  is  employt'd  for  the  same  purposes  as  the  single  l^antern,  as  well  as  for  the 
production  of  Dissolving  Views.  Oil  Light  cannot  be  used  in  a  Stereopticon, 
the  proper  radiant  being  Oxy-Hydrogen  Gas  or  Electric  (arc)  Light,  and  when 
the  instrument  is  fitted  with  '4  size  Lenses,  Acetylene  Gas.  When  larger  Lenses 
than  %  size  are  used,  Acetylene  Gas  is  not  generally  applicable.  Owing  to  the 
intensity  of  the  light,  the  fine  lenses  and  a  superior  method  of  dissolving  used 
with  the  Stereopticon,  the  views  can  be  enlarged  to  greater  size  and  projected 
to  greater  distances  than  is  possible  with  an  oil  light  Lantern. 

A  COMBINED  MAGIC  LANTERN  AND 
MOVING  PICTURE  MACHINE 

is  a  combination  of  a  single  Magic  Lantern  and  a  mechanical  attachment,  with 
which  can  be  shown  not  only  the  regular  Lantern  Views,  but  additionally  the 
flexible  films  by  means  of  which  are  produced  the  celebrated  moving  pictures. 
Electric  (arc)  Light  and  Oxy-Hydrogen  Gas  (lime  light)  only  can  be  used  for 
the  production  of  Moving  Pictures.  No  other  radiant  has  yet  been  discovered 
that  will  produce  satisfactory  results  when  used  for  this  purpose. 

THE    LIGHT  OR  RADIANT 

Four  forms  of  light  have  been,  found  to  be  suitable  for  use  with  Projection  Appar- 
atus.    These  are  : 

OIL   LIGHT 

This  is  the  most  used  and  is  undoubtedly  the  most  convenient  form  of  light 
for  lantern  puiposes,  as  it  is  always  possible  to  obtain  sufficient  kerosene  for  an 
evening's  exhibition,  no  special  apparatus  is  required  for  using  it,  and  the  cost 
is  merely  nominal,  a  few  cents'  worth  of  oil  being  sufficient  for  two  hours'  use. 
At  the  same  time,  the  illumination  of  all  oil  light  lamps  is  limited. 

A  satisfactorily  illuminated  picture,  8  or  9  feet  in  diameter,  is  all  that  should 
be  expected  and  all  that  can  be  obtained  from  a  standard  size  (3J4^  x  4  in.)  view 
in  a  lantern  when  oil  light  is  used  as  the  radiant. 

Do  not  attempt  to  make  pictures  of  larger  size  with  this  light. 

The  performance  of  the  lantern  depends  upon  the  darkness  of  the  room, 
the  cleanliness  and  quality  of  the  lenses,  and  the  character  and  density  of  the 
f    view. 


u 


MONTGOMERY  WARD  &  CO  .  CHICAGO. 


ACETYLENE    GAS 

is  a  comparatively  new  form  of  radiant  for  lantern  use.  It  produces  a  very 
white  and  penetrating,'  li^ht,  ^ivinj;  with  a  proper  burner  an  intensity  of  about 
half  that  of  Lime  (Oxy-Hydro<;en  Gas)  Lijjht  and  many  times  more  brilliant 
than  oil.  The  liK'ht  is  brilliant,  safe  and  economical,  and  we  think,  will  even- 
tually entirely  supersede  oil.  With  Acetylene  CJas,  pictures  TJ  to  15  feet  in 
diarneter,  brilliantly  illuminated,  may  be  projected  upon  the  screen  with  the 
Lantern  '2ri  to  .'50  feet  distant. 

The  cost  of  operating  a  Lantern  fitted  with  a  quadruplex  (four  flame)  burner 
is  about  10c.  per  hour. 

See  quotation  page  13  for  detailed  description  and  price  on  our  Acetylene 
Gas  Generating  Outfit. 

OXY-HYDROGEN  GAS  rtime  Light) 

This  form  of  radiant  is  in  general  use  by  traveling  Lecturers,  Exhibitors, 
Advertising  and  Theatrical  Companies,  etc.,  who  require  a  powerful  light  for  pro- 
jection purposes.  It  consists  of  Oxygen  and  Hydrogen  Gases,  that  are  conveyed 
to  the  jet  or  burner  by  rubber  tubes,  and  when  mixed  in  proper  proportions  and 
ignited  they  produce  a  blue-white  rtame  of  intense  heat,  in  which  is  placed  a 
cylinder  of  lime,  which  becomes  incandescent  and  produces  a  light  of  from  700 
to  1,000  candle  power.  The  gases  from  this  light  may  be  manufactured  by  and 
used  from  one  of  our  Oxy-Hydrogen  Gas  Making  Outfits,  or  they  may  be 
obtained  compressed  in  steel  tanks  from  Calcium  Light  Companies  which  are 
established  in  most  of  the  large  cities  throughout  the  country.  As  a  Vule, 
the  manufacturing  companies  make  no  charge  for  use  of  the  tanks  the  con- 
sumer merely  paying  for  the  gas  used,  returning  tanks  to  the  owners  when 
empty. 

liach  jet  consumes  from  1  to  (>  cubic  feet  of  gas  per  hour.  When  used 
from  cylinders  the  two  gases  cost  from  \2  to  15c.  per  cubic  foot.  When  used  by 
means  of  the  Generating  Outfit  about  one-third  this  amount. 

See  page  13  for  description  and  prices  of  Oxy-Hydrogen  Gas  Generating 
Outfit. 

ELECTRIC  ARC  LIGHT 

This  is  by  far  the  most  powerful  artificial  light  known,  and  to  persons  hav- 
ing access  to  a  suitable  current,  the  Low  Tension  Incandescent,  the  value  of  the 
Lantern  and  Moving  Picture  apparatus  is  greatly  enhanced.  This  light  is  avail- 
able, however,  only  in  the  larger  cities  and  towns  where  the  Incandescent 
Lighting  System  is  in  use. 

The  Electric  Arc  Lamp  for  use  on  the  Low  Tension  Incandescent  current 
is  perfectly  safe.  We  do  not  advise  that  amateurs  use  High  Tension  Series 
Arc  Light  Current,  as  this,  in  the  hands  of  any  but  an  experienced  electrician, 
is  dangerous. 

LENSES    (Condensing  and  Objective) 

The  Condensing  Lenses  of  a  Lantern  are  the  large  lenses  placed  in  proper 
position  between  the  radiant  or  light,  and  the  objective  or  projecting  lens. 

Their  use  is  to  condense  the  light  and  pass  it  through  the  lantern  view  to  a 
focus  in  the  Objective- Condensing  Lenses  for  Lantern  use,  range  in  size  from 
4  inches  to  4}4  inches  in  diameter.  The  4-inch  are  used  in  the  medium  grade  in- 
struments, wherein  Oil  light  or  Acetylene  Gas  light  is  employed  as  the  radiant. 

The  larger  sizes  are  used  in  the  higher  grade  Lanterns  and  in  Stereopticons, 
in  which  the  form  of  radiant  is  interchangeable. 

Condensing  Lenses  of  less  than  4  inches  in  diameter  are  useless  for  projec- 
tion purposes  as  they  will  not  fully  illuminate  a  standard  size,  '.i^^  x  4  inch  slide. 

THE  OBJECTIVB  is  the  Lens  that  projects  upon  the  screen  the  magnified 
image  of  the  view,  and  the  quality  and  sharpness  of  the  picture  thus  produced  is 
dependent  in  a  large  measure  upon  the  quality  of  the  Objective.     These  Lenses 


<h/ 


MONTGOMERY  WARD  &  CO.,  CHICAGO. 


are  of  High  or  Low  Power  accordinf^  to  their  focal  length.  A  short  focus  lens 
makes  a  large  picture  with  the  lantern  a  short  distance  from  the  screen  and  is  of 
High  Power,  while  a  long  focus  lens  is  of  Low  Power,  and  projects  a  much 
smaller  picture  with  the  lantern  the  same  distance  from  screen.  Objective 
Lenses  are  made  in  different  sizes  for  various  needs  and  are  known  as 

1-4  size        1-3  size        1-2  size 
2-3  size        4-4  size 

The  %  and  Y^  sizes  are  High  Power  Lenses. 

The  other  sizes  are  of  Low  Power. 

The  \^  size  only  is  for  use  with  Oil  Light,  this  radiant  not  being  of  suffi- 
cient brilliancy  to  illuminate  a  picture  further  than  the  %  size  lens  will  project  it. 

The  %  and  ^  sizes  are  suitable  for  use  with  Acetylene  Gas. 

All  the  sizes  can  be  used  when  Lime  Light  or  Electric  Arc  Light  is  used  as 
a  radiant. 

The  following  table  gives  approximately  the  various  sizes  of  pictures  made 
with  different  sizes  of  objectives,  with  Lantern  at  varying  distances  from  the 
screen,  when  the  standard  size  3!^  x  4-inch  slide  is  used  :

M.  W.&  CO'S  KOH=I-NOOR  MAGIC  LANTERN 

In  the  Koh-i-noor  there 
has  been  produced  the 
acme  of  perfection  in 
the  arrangement  of  the 
tri-unial  (I'.-inch)  lamp, 
it  having  been  improved 
in  a  manner  which 
makes  the  flame  of  each 
of  the  H  burners  '2^^g  in. 
wide,  giving  a  greatly 
increased  white  light, 
sufficient  for  projecting 
upon  the  screen  a  well 
illuminatetl  picture  8  or 
9  feet  in  diameter,  with 
the  lantern  Iti  to  18  feet 
from  screen.  Of  course, 
smaller  pictures  can  be 
produced  at  lesser  dis- 
tances. The  Koh-i-noor 
is  made  of  best  Russia 
iron,  having  a  solid 
inside  body  and  an  out- 
side perforated  jacket  to 
avoid  heating.  It  is  mounted  on  a  polished  mahogany  base,  the  extension  front  being

M.  W.  &  GO'S  DISSOLVING  LANTERN 


The  illustration  is  a  correct  representation  of  our 
Dissolving  Oil  Light  Lantern.  This  instrument 
is  provided  with  a  double  slide  stage,  which  is 
moved  rapidly  up  and  down,  the  motion  being 
controlled  by  the  lever  shown  at  side  of  Lan- 
tern. By  this  means  the  transition  from  one 
view  to  another  is  extremely  rapid,  and  the  effect 
is  exactly  like  that  obtained  when  a  regular  Oil 
Light  Dissolving  View  Apparatus  is  used,  and  is 
the  nearest  approach  to  real  dissolving  that  can 
be  obtained  from  oil  light. 

A  further  advantage  of  the  double  stage  is  that 
mounted  and  unmounted  views  may  be  used  in 
succession,  without  removing  the  carrier  used  for 
unmounted  slides.  The  body  is  of  best  Russia 
iron  and  brass  work,  is  highly  polished  and  lac- 
quered. The  lamp  is  quadri-unial  (4-inch)  with 
the  wicks  arranged  in  the  form  of  two  wedges  /^y^, 
and  produces  a  strong,  white  light,  sufhcient  to 
illuminate  an  S  or  i)  foot  picture  with  lantern  ](> 
to  IS  feet  from  screen,  wlien  the  regular '! '4x4 
inch  view  is  used.  The  chimney  telescopes  and

THORNWARD    UNIVERSAL    flAGIC    LANTERNS 


We  are  justly  proud  of  our  series  of  Universal  Lanterns,  and  feel  thoroughly  justi- 
fied in  recommending  them  as  being  the  best  value  instruments  of  any  apparatus  of 
this  kind  now  on  the  market. 

In  their  construction  the  very  best  materials  have  been  used,  the  form  is  modern 
and  up-to-date,  and  great  care  has  been  exercised  to  produce  instruments  of  handsome 
appearance  as  well  as  of  great  utility.  The  Skeleton  Frame  is  made  of  light  and 
strong  brass  castings,  nickel  plated,  and  is  supplied  with  Extension  Leather  Bellows. 
The  Condensing  Lenses  are  4''2  inches  in  diameter,  of  finest  quality,  mounted  in  a 
nickel  plated  brass  cell. 

This  cell  when  in  position  rests  upon  metal  pegs  attached  to  the  hood  and  can  be 
instantly  removed;  so  that  in  the  event  of  the  condenser  sweating  after  lighting  up, 
the  cell  can  be  removed  and  rubbed  dry  with  but  a  moment's  delay.  The  slide  stage 
is  of  sufficient  size  to  permit  the  use  of  slides  5^  inch  thick  and  4  inches  wide,  and  of 
course  anything  smaller.       A  novel    feature   of   this   stage   is  that   tho   top,  instead  of 


MONTGOMERY  WARD  &  CO..  CHICAGO. 


being  fixed  as  in  other  forms  of  Lanterns,  can  be  removed  so  that  mechanical  slides, 
that  have  vertical  instead  of  horizontal  motion,  such  as  the  "Ascension  of  Christ" 
can  be  shown. 

The  Objective  Lenses  are  hij;h  grade,  double  achromatic,  made  specially  for  pro- 
jection purposes,  mounted  in  nickel  plated  tubes,  and  furnished  with  rack  and  pinion 
for  focusing. 

The  Lantern  front,  to  which  Objective  is  attached,  is  of  sufficient  size  to  permit  the 
use  of  all  sizes  of  objectives,  from  }{  to  %.  Each  front  is  furnished  with  flange,  of  size 
to  occupy  a  ^  size  objective,  into  which  is  fitted  the  adapter  for  the  ,'4  sizes.  Thus 
the  instrument  is  ready  at  all  times  to  be  used  with  either  a.  ]^  or  y^  size  objective,  ren- 
dering it  adaptable  for  exhibitions  in  large  or  small  halls,  or  in  the  parlor,  for  making 
either  large  or  small  pictures,  and  for  use  at  any  distance  from  the  screen. 

The  Hood  (or  Lamp  House)  in  which  the  light  is  confined,  is  of  polished  Russia 
iron,  ventilated  and  supplied  with  doors  at  side  and  rear,  so  that  light  can  be  examined 
from  any  position.  The  use  of  the  e.xtension  bellows  adds  greatly  to  the  compactness 
and  portability  of  the  instrument,  it  weighing  in  carrying  case  but  12  pounds. 

With  each  lantern  we  furnish  two  slide  carriers,  one  for  gem  views  and  one  for 
standard  size  views,  and  a  carrying  case.

THE  THORNWARD  OPTISCOPE 

A  combined  Magic  Lantern  and 
Animated  Picture  Machine  with 
which  can  be  used  both  the 
regular  glass  lantern  views  and 
the  Film  Ribbons  for  produc- 
ing the  animated  (or  moving) 
pictures. 
The  principle  of  the  animated  Pic- 
ture Machine  is  the  same  as  that 
of  the  Magic  Lantern  except 
that  instead  of  the  regular  glass 
lantern  slide,  there  is  used  a 
long,  transparent  celluloid  rib- 
bon, the  standard  length  of 
which  is  fifty  feet,  containing  a 
series  of  photographs  taken  at 
the  rate  of  about  forty  per  sec- 
ond. On  each  fifty  feet  of  rib- 
bon there  is  a  series  of  about 
800  pictures,  each  slightly  dif- 
ferent from  the  other. 
By  means  of  the  ingenious  mech- 
anism of  the  mechanical  head 
of  the  machine,  these  pictures 
are  made  to  pass  before  the 
projecting  lens  at  about  the 
same  speed  at  which  they  were 
taken,  with  a  fractional  stop  and  division  between  each.  So  life-like,  so  true  to  na- 
ture, so  perfect  in  detail,  such  life-like  actions  are  the  pictures  projected  from  these 
machines  that  the  audience  can  scarcely  believe  that  what  they  see  before  them  is  only 
a  picture. 

Moving  Picture  Exhibitions 

have  been  exceedingly  popular  for  two  years,  but,  owing  to  the  former  high  cost  of 
outfits,  comparatively  few  people  outside  the  large  cities  have  seen  them.  In  the 
Optiscope  we  have  produced  a  machine  of  handsome  appearance,  durability  and  utility, 
■which  for  simplicity,  easy  action,  noiselessness,  workmanship  and  quality  of  results 
obtainable  has  no  supefior.

THE    BATTLE    OF   MANILA 

AN»  THE 

PHILIPPINE  ISLANDS, 


PROF.  WM.   FRISBIE,   LL.  B..   Ph.   D. 

(Copyright  1898,  by  the  K.  O.  Co.) 


When  Congress  passed  .t  resolution  recognizing  the  existence  of  a  state  of  war 
between  the  United  States  and  Spain,  it  was  at  once  concluded  that  our  energies  were 
to  be  directed  against  Cuba,  chiefly  at  Havana.  Few  of  the  people  thought  of  Spain's 
colonial  possessions  in  the  Pacific  Ocean. 

Americans  had  read  from  time  to  time  of  an  American  squadron  in  Asiatic  waters; 
but  of  what  ships  it  was  composed,  what  their  fighting  strength,  who  their  command- 
ing officer,  few  outside  of  naval  circles  knew. 

Shortly  after  May  1,  1898,  the  people  of  the  United  States  were  electrified  by 
the  news  received  from  far  off  Manila  of  gallant  Dewey's  splendid  victory,  and  the 
total  destruction  of  the  Spanish  Asiatic  fleet.  The  lecture  commences  with  the  Ameri- 
can fleet  in  the  harbor  of  Hong  Kong,  and  is  a  most  graphic  description  of  the  famous 
battle  and  the  equally  famous  Philippine  Islands.

ACETYLENE   GAS  GENERATOR 


Acetylene  Gas,  as  now  used  is  an  entirely  new  form  of  illumi- 
nant.  It  is  made  from  calcic  carbide,  anon-combustible,  non- 
explosive,  cheap  chemical,  which,  when  placed  in  water, 
generates  Acetylene  Gas.  This  gas,  when  burned  in  a  suit- 
able jet  (seepage  15)  produces  an  intensely  white,  penetrating 
light,  many  times  more  brilliant' then  ordinary  Hydrogen 
(house)  Gas.  In  the  Generators  we  are  now  furnishing  the 
gas  is  not  under  pressure  and  there  is  not  a  sufficient  amount 
of  it  stored  in  the  generator  to  permit  an  explosion,  by  any 
possibility,  to  occur. 
Acetylene  Gas  is  rapidly  becoming  the  favorite  radiant  for  use 
with  projection  apparatus.  Owing  to  the  brilliancy  of  the 
light,  the  simplicity  of  operation,  cheapness,  portability  and 
safety,  it  is  fast  replacing  all  other  forms  of  light  for  this 
(and  other)  purposes.  It.can  be  used  with  the  regular  single 
Magic  Lantern  or  with  the  double  Stereopticon;  but  not 
with  the  Moving  Picture  apparatus.  One  Generator  only  is 
required  for  use  with  the  Stereopticon. 
The  cost  of  operating  is  merely  nominal.  One  pound  of  carbide 
will  generate  sufficient  gas  to  operate  a  lantern  for  an  hour. 
The  Generator  consists  of  two  metal  cylinders  of  proper  pro- 
portions, one  within  the  other.  In  the  inner  cylinder  is  the 
receptacle  for  holding  the  carbide.  It  is  compact,  simple  of  operation  and  directions 
for  use  accompany  each.     Height  19  inches,  diameter  S^4  inches,  weight  9^^  lbs.

ior  generating  the  necessary  gas  for  producing  lime 
light.  Lime  light  has  for  many  years  been  the  favorite 
radiant  for  projection  work  where  an  intensely  brilliant 
and  penetrating  light  is  required.  This  light  is  produced 
by  a  combination  of  Hydrogen  and  Oxygen  Gases  burned 
against  a  cylinder  of  lime,  thus  producing  a  brilliant 
white  light  of  from  700  to  1,000  candle  power. 

Until  recently,  the  only  available  apparatus  for  mak- 
ing the  necessary  gases  for  this  light  has  been  the  old 
fashioned  gas-bags  and  accompanying  outfit,  always  un- 
wieldy, heavy  and  troublesome,  and  subject  to  acciden- 
tal damage. 

The  Portable  Gas  Making  Outfit  generates  its  own 
pressure,  and  requires,  in  addition  to  the  outfit  itself,  the 
carrying  of  the  necessary  chemicals  only,  to  enable  the 
operator  to  make  the  gases  and  exhibit  anywhere.  He 
is  entirely  independent  of  outside  sources  of  supply  and 
always  sure  of  having  his  gases  when  he  wants  them. 

The  outfit  consists  of  a  metal  gas  tank,  12x3()  inches, 
tested  to  withstand  high  pressure,  an  improved  saturator, 
a  pressure  gauge  for  measuring  quantity  of  gas  in  tank,  two 
needle  valves  for  controlling  the  gases,  a  narrow  cylindrical  retort,  a  wash  bottle,  con- 
necting pipes,  rub\)er  tutting,  wrench,  etc.  Oxygen  gas  is  generated  from  black  oxide  of 
manganese  and  chlorate  of  potash.  All  that  is  necessary  is  to  heat  the  chemicals  in  a 
retort  (furnished  with  the  outfit)  which  converts  them  into  gas  that  passes  into  the  tank. 

Hydrogen  gas  is  generated  from  gasoline  in  the  saturator. 

The  advantages  of  this  Outfit,  are.  its  economy.  ;{.')  to  -10c.  worth  of  chemi- 
cals being  sufficient  to  generate  gases  for  an  evening's  entertainment.

Its  Utility   in  producing  the  best  available  form  of  radiant  for  use  with  any  form

DISSOLVING  KEYS 

Dissolving  Keys  are  necessary  for  use 
with  a  Stereopticon  (Double  Lanterns)  to 
produce  dissolving  effects.  They  cannot

keys  are  of  the  best  construction,  fine  fin-

GE/n  SLIDES  (Views) 


From  Slide  No.    1. 

We  are  manufacturers  of  these,  are  thoroughly  conversant  with  their  excellent 
qualities,  and  direct  attention  to  the  following  facts  concerning  them: 

The  size  of  a  regular  standard  size  slide  is  B^4f  x4  inches,  this  slide  having  a  single 
view  (picture)  3  inches  in  diameter. 

The  Gem  Slides  are  2^2  inches  wide,  8  inches  long,  and  each  slide  contains  three 
views  (pictures)  2  inches  in  diameter.  It  will  thus  be  seen  that  the  view  of  the  Gem 
slide  is  but  two-thirds  the  size  of  that  of  the  view  of  the  standard  size  slide,  conse- 
quently the  picture  projected  upon  the  screen  from  a  Gem  slide  will  be  but  two-thirds 
the  size  of  that  projected  from  a  standard  size,  with  the  lantern  at  same  distance  from 
screen.  This,  and  the  fact  that  the  Gem  slide  contains  three  views,  whereas  the  stand- 
ard size  contains  but  one,  is  the  only  way  in  which  the  Gem  differs  from  the  standard. 

In  quality,  finish,  and  general  excellence  they  are  equal  to  the  best  Foreign  and 
American  slides  now  made. 

Each  slide  is  provided  witha  cover  glass  to  prevent  scratching.  They  are  suitable 
for  use  in  any  lantern,  from  a  toy  having  a  slide  stage  2^  inches  in  height,  to  the  most 
powerful  lime  light  or  electriclight  Stereopticon,  and  are  specially  recommended  to  the 
exhibitor  with  small  capital  who  wishes  to  keep  the  cost  of  his  outfit  within  certain  limits, 

As  we  make  these  in  a  large  variety  of  subjects,  their  low  price  of  25c.  each  (8j^c. 
each,  for  each  of  the  three  views)  puts  a  complete  assortment  of  most  attractive  views 
within  the  reach  of  all,  and  renders  it  possible  for  persons  of  very  limited  means  to 
use  the  lantern  for  Pleasure  and  Profit.     To  these,  we  invite  careful  attention.

THE  DISASTER  TO  THE  BATTLESHIP  MAINE, 
AND  THE  CUBAN  WARFARE. 

BY 

PROFESSOR  HENRY  LEO. 

(Copyright.  1898,  by  the  K    O    Co.) 


Previous  to  February  IG,  1898,  relations  between  the  United  States  and  Spain 
had  been  strained  almost  to  the  breaking  point.  On  that  date  the  people  of  the  whole 
world  were  horrified  to  learn  of  the  total  destruction,  by  explosion,  of  the  United 
States  battleship,  Maine,  in  the  harbor  of  Havana.  Beginning  with  this  disaster,  the 
writer  gives  a  most  thorough  and  interesting  description  of  the  results  of  Spanish 
misrule  in  Cuba.

The  Magic  Lantern  feature  is  almost  identical  in  construction  with  our  Thornward 
Universal  Lantern  (see  pages  (i  and  7),  except  that  the  objective  is  a  specially  fine  lens 
of  such  length  of  focus  as  to  project  upon  the  screen,  from  a  regular.3  V4  x  4  inch  slide, 
approximately  the  same  sized  image  as  is  projected  from  the  smaller  film  pictures  by 
means  of  the  objective  of  the  Moving  Picture  attachment.  The  condensing  lenses  are 
4^2  inches  in  diameter,  of  finest  quality,  mounted  in  nickeled  brass  cell. 

The  mechanical  attachment  for  operating  the  Moving  I^icture  Films  is  of  the 
latest  improved  model,  supplied  with  a  fine,  high  power  objective,  film  reel  and  re- 
winding spool  at  side.  The  attachment  rests  upon  a  metal  post  attached  to  the  plat- 
form and  is  clamped  in  position  by  means  of  a  heavy  set  screw.  To  loosen  this  screw, 
remove  the  attachment,  and  thus  convert  the  machine  into  a  regular  Magic  Lantern  is 
the  work  of  but  a  moment. 

All  standard  gauge  films  can  be  used  in  the  Optiscope  and  the  picture  projected  is 
sharp  and  positive,  while  the  motion  caused  by  the  vibration  of  the  film  is  reduced  to 
the  minimum. 

The  Optiscope  is  easily  portable;  in  carrying  case  it  weighs  but  2.")  lbs. 

Lime  Light  and  Electric  Light 

are  the  only  forms  of  radiant  with  which  satisfactory  moving  pictures  can  be  produced. 
No  other  radiant  is  suitable  for  this  purpose.

MOVABLE  COMIC  VIEWS. 


On  Slides,  4x7  Inches. 


These  Slides  are  so  constructed  that  two  effects  are  shown  on  the  screen  without 
removing  the  Slide  from  the  Lantern.  Part  of  the  picture  is  painted  on  one  glass,  and 
the  other  part  on  another  glass.  The  two  are  arranged  on  a  frame  so  that  one  glass 
slips  over  the  other,  and  very  cf^mical  effects  are  produced.  It  is  a  great  mystery  to 
the  uninitiated,  and  they  cannot  understand  how  the  transformations  are  made, 

The  subjects  are  all  comic,  so  that  laughter  and  good  humor  are  always  produced 
in  the  audience. 

We  reserve  the  right  to  substitute  on  these  slides,  as  it  is  sometimes  impossible  to 
keep  all  numbers  in  stock.

BINDING   FILMS. 

"Honey  Saved  is  Honey  Hade." 

The  chief  expense  and  anxiety  of  every  exhibitor  of  moving  pictures,  is  the  wear 
and  tear  on  Films. 

With  the  Southwick  Patent  Binding  the  film  is  bound  both  sides  with  a  fine 
strong  linen  tape,  cemented  to  the  film  with  a  special  prepared  cement,  that  cements 
the  tape  to  the  emulsion  side  equally  as  strong  as  the  celluloid  side,  and  while  it  ad- 
heres with  great  tenacity,  it  is  of  such  a  character  that  should  you  desire  to  make  any 
repairs  or  changes  in  your  film,  the  binding  can  be  stripped  back,  the  ends  cemented 
together  in  the  usual  way  and  the  binding  replaced,  when  it  will  adhere  tightly  as  ever. 
This  strong  tape  binding  keeps  the  film  in  good  condition  a  lifetime.  Prevents  the 
emulsion  or  pict^ure  from  peeling  off  and  makes  the  film  run  absolutely  steady.
